Mayan Art

Mayan art is a reflection of culture and lifestyle of the people of Maya. Mayan art was a significant trade niche. It was constituted of painting and delineation on plaster and paper, carvings in bone, Jade, stone, Obsidian, wood, stucco and clay models, and molded terracotta figurines. The metal procession techniques were as well highly developed, but were mostly used only in art, since the resources were very limited.
Perhaps, the most spectacular of Mayan art were and still are the pyramids. These ancient and magnificent structures were built between 200 and 900 AD. Mayan pyramids were used for various, but quite essential purposes. They were primarily used for religious ceremonies. But they also were landmarks for simpler navigation. Mayan pyramids were built so tall that they might be seen above the tree tops in the jungle, where they were built. Some of Mayan pyramids also included burial chambers that were used for officials of highest ranks, quite similar to Egyptian pyramids. But, above all, the pyramids are the culmination of Mayan art.

If you consider getting yourself a Mayan art print or poster, you may be sure that it will be a totally amazing addition to your quarters. The great thing about Mayan art posters and prints is that they will fit into almost any type of interior and design. Most Mayan art prints depict Mayan pyramids, as they are the final statement of the civilization’s greatness and achievements. They always look spectacular, yet calming, which is why Mayan art posters and prints are so precious for a modern home.

About two weeks ago you helped me with a Georgia O'Keefe I sent to my friend Carol in Georgia. She got it yesterday and opened it early and absolutely loved it... not just the print, the framing, matting, the colors... everything... You were such a great help I just wanted to take a moment to thank youBob from Itasca, IL
